You should also watch
“Star Wars Holiday Special”

This is the funniest thing, and I never noticed it when I originally watched the movies! You even hear the huge crunch!

You know, I wanted to sift this a long time ago.. I just couldn't find a version I thought was good enough quality. Good sift.

That's really in the final cut of the movie?

I laughed my head off the first time I saw this and then proceeded to laugh about ten more times at it.

Yes, it really is. And in the special editions and remastered versions as well. And in the new Episode II as well, Jango Fett (the guy all the clone troopers are made from you remember) does the same thing as he boards his ship on that water planet, after his fight with Obi-wan. Complete with sound effects in his case as well.

I'm just glad they put it in slow motion four times. I would have missed it otherwise.

I think the audio has been doctored in this clip. As I remember it, the initial 'click' that you heard was the first stormtrooper's mic cutting in (as they all did); it just happened to be timed with the bump of the head. At least that's how it sounded on my original VHS tapes that I bought back in 1986, as well as the letterbox VHS editions.

Funny, none the less. There's also a blooper in the original cut of ROTJ, pre-Special Edition. Right after Jabba's sail barge blows up, they wipe to the Death Star with the Emperor arriving. Right after the wipe takes place, there are four TIE's that fly into frame, from around the camera (ie. one on top, one on bottom, to the left and to the right). If you follow this squad alllll the way down, they disappear right before the scene cuts to the inside of the Death Star.

Oh, and I never found the shoe...or the wads of gum, etc.

For some reason I read the title of this post as "Stormship Trooper" rather than "Star Wars Blooper".

I just checked the remastered version and the audio has not been doctored. Wow, never caught that blooper.

the audio is definitely not doctored, except perhaps that the foley effects guys actually might have added it in after having noticed the blooper during post production. i love showing this to people who haven't seen it before. cracks me up every time.

I guess this Storm Trooper just returned from some "force assisted neck stretching" courtesy of the local Dark Lord.

What cracks me up is that all storm troopers are clones. So how are they different heights? One of the extras didn't show for shooting that day? If so they must have stuck Peter Mayhew (Chewie) in the suit and called it good.

I can't see what he's bumping into. He totally clears the door.

The sound is defiantly doctored. The 'click' sound is the mic and legit. The 'bomp' sound is new to this clip. Classic clip though.

Another clip to compare:

Ah, see. It was doctored. The clip FishBulb found is the original.

The storm troopers were ORIGINALLY clones, during the glorious end days of the Republic and the CLONE Wars. After that, Kamino, where the clones were created, revolted and its cloning facilities were destroyed by the Empire. The storm troopers thus became filled with incompetents from all over the galaxy.

Sheesh.

The first stormtrooper does clear the door, but his buddy behind him doesn't make it.

There's also another pretty prominent blooper in Star Wars when Han and them are taking off in the Millennium Falcon, for a split second in the hall behind the cockpit you can see someone leaving the shot. The lights are green in the hall, and for some reason the guy looks like he's wearing a doctor's coat.
